My Testimony
In my own testimony, I shared how traumatic the loss of a loved one to incarceration is; it truly is like grieving someone who isn’t dead.
I also challenged Michigan Representatives to examine the extensive research literature proving incarceration has unfair collateral consequences on children.
Visits save lives; let’s get this done. 💪🏻
